Hi All,
Due to COVID-19, and restrictions put on businesses, some of our advertisers have been slow to pay and unresponsive and thus have put us in a position where we are now behind in our monthly server lease, and thus today received a disconnection notice.
In order to get us over the line, we need to raise $250 in order to cover this months costs before the end of the month.
If you can would be great in trying to raise the funds for this to get us over the line for this month.
I hope you are all staying safe in this difficult time.

Thanks Guys. For some reason stuck in "Authorisation" at the moment. Worked out that I must approve this on the back end. Approved, and received. Thanks again.
Received in total so far $67.28 and our license expires in around 3 days.

Hi Guys,
Hope you are having a great year so far. It is that time again where our software licensing charges are due. These updates allow us to add new features, have SPAM prevention, and allow us to upgrade to the latest version as it they come out. Usually twice or three times a year.
The IPB costs are around the $160 mark, plus any additional license charges for our plugins such as the gallery etc.
If we can raise around $400 or so, will allow us to pay for these in total.
Why do we need the donations?
Basically in a nut shell, our monthly hosting costs, and income based on advertisers just covers our monthly charges. And even then its a constant battle to ensure that we get paid on time and able to keep everything paid in full.
We regularly review our hosting requirements, in line with disk space, and memory usage, and only recently evaluated in which our current setup is still suitable.

Thanks all. Have just updated the goal, as there is a few updates / plugins that need to be purchased. Adding about $150 AUD to the total.
Some of these expired back in January 2019, which probably explains why the donations mod is playing up as well.
so about $150 short at the moment to update it all.
Cheers

Hi @arronm
All up is around $300 AUD. The normal license is $100 USD and then additional licenses for the plugins. We had a donation of $20 the other day, but then need the additional to update.
Update: After checking all the outdated plugins the total is $520. This includes the forum software license renewal. The joys of everything being USD.
Plugins to be updated are:
Timeslips
Donations
Videos
Birthday Greeter
Collections
Forms
Cheers

Hi All,
That time of year again when software renewals are up and unfortunately the site again is just covering costs (besides the license costs).
Our license has now expired for IPB (around 5 days ago) and we need to update our licenses to ensure that we are able to update it to ensure we get the latest updates, SPAM management and new features.

Please dig deep and help where you can to keep the community up to date, and operational.
Thanks again
